Current league leader FC Barcelona (11-2-1, 34 points) will look to regain its winning form against hard-fighting Deportivo La Coruna (5-2-7, 22 points) at the Camp Nou on Saturday, December 12 in a 2015-2016 La Liga season matchup.
Barça suffered a temporary setback as their six-game winning run was snapped by a draw with Valencia, 1-1, at the Mestalla Stadium last Saturday, as per SkySports.
Luis Suárez scored the opening goal of the match one minute before the hour mark as both sides were held to a goalless first half. However, the Catalonia giants gave up the equalizing goal at the 86th minute to settle for the tie and a point in the overall standings.
Barcelona is still on top of the league table, but Atletico Madrid is now following closely with only two points behind Luis Enrique's men.
Meanwhile, Deportivo was also held to a 1-1 draw by Sevilla last Saturday at the Estadio Municipal de Riazor, via Sports Mole.
Brancoazuis winger Lucas drew first blood at the 22nd before Sevilla midfielder Vicente Iborra leveled the count at the 76th with a right-footed shot from center box.
Víctor Sánchez's boys has not lost in their last five outings and their winning streak is in danger of getting halted against Lionel Messi and company this weekend.
The prediction is a 3-1 win for Barcelona. The Big Three of Messi, Suárez, and Neymar will once again star for Barça after a lackluster performance against Valencia.
Barcelona starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar
Deportivo La Coruna starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Lux; Juanfran, Arribas, Sidnei, Navarro; Cani, Bergantinos, Mosquera, Luisinho; Lucas, Riera
